MemPro

Creating an application is hard work especially if your app reaches a certain degree of complexity. A big issue in developing apps is to write them in such a way that they don't use more memory than they need. In this sense, you have to figure out how each object uses the available memory.

Overview

MemPro is a Windows application profiler that can profile all applications with compatible PDB files.

Key Features

• Efficient memory management


• Comprehensive interface for easy navigation


• Snapshot feature for memory distribution analysis


• Different views such as Call Tree, Memory, Functions, Types, and Leaks

Usage

The application uses a transmission control protocol to connect to the targeted app to record information on the memory state. But in order to do so, you first need to compile the application against the MemProLib code by adding some lines to the source code.

Viewing the allocated memory is a four-step task. You first need to compile the application using MemProLib, connect to the app, take a snapshot and then open it to view how memory is distributed.

Memory Analysis

A snapshot contains the state of all the pages found inside the process, information about how much memory is allocated, and the allocations that are currently active. The application can also create a full snapshot that provides you with the content of the entire process memory.

Data Views

For the snapshots, you get to use different views such as Call Tree, Memory, Functions, Types, and Leaks. The Call Tree view displays the place in your application where memory is allocated, while the Functions one breaks it down according to function.

Conclusion

With the above to consider and much more to discover, MemPro is by all means a reliable tool that you can use in the development of your applications, ensuring that they work efficiently.
